Right enough is enough. I am through with this shit. When I first joined it was great, I could finally talk shit of a childish nature with other english speakers, providing a light antidote to having to talk about seriuous stuff like insurance with the germans. Sure we had a laugh back then, but at least it was possible to tell what was a laugh and what wasnt. We gave each other shit, but at least it was good natured shit. I was able to get Toytown puss almost every tuesday night, and noone gossipped about it, because the whole site was usually if not involved in it, at least in the same room videoing it!
Then everything went downhill, starting with touch fucking rugby. Which looking back now, was just another one of those things that have continued to destroy the soul of TT to this day. The
cliques.
It wasnt long before 9 out of ten posts were about touch fucking rugby. It took over rapidly, or should I say rabidly. Which was sad, because it was only a handful of newbies that seemed to give a shit about it. The large majority of us were fat lazy bastards for whom sport was a chocolate bar. As you could well imagine, the introduction of touch fucking rugby, was NOT a welcome event, and they were duely banished.
Then came the information seekers. Annoying short term visitors to Munich who abused the site for nothing other than where to buy peanut butter, or find a flat, or a german course. They would typically ask one question read all their answers, then fuck right off, not to be seen for another 6 months until the next time they needed to ask where in munich they could find decent cheese, carpet cleaner or someone to clean their windows. And not once did any of these selfish bastards start a decent, interesting, worthwhile thread about another TTers sex life, or containing naked pictures, or abusing indians.
Then came the next clique, the Americans, or Americans as we always used to call them, and it was incredible what a division was caused between the Americans and the english speakers. The slightest criticism of foreign policy or american cars was condemned as "anti-americanism" and triggered off days of insult trading, and making jokes at each others expense. Actually from our side, it was only really jokes, but the Americans didnt get them, and treated them as insults. Once Bush won his second election, and the Americans were able to redirect their wrath towards middle eastern people they calmed down somewhat.
Then curry nights became too big, and finished too late, and I missed my train back home time and time again. So that thursdays became impossible. I was either starving having decided not to go to curry night, or tired, having slept about 2 hours at the train station. It was like a whole day from every week was stolen from me and I can never get it back.
But the main reason I have to escape now, is psychological. My entire worldview on humanity is now totally screwed up. Back then, we all had a fairly healthy view on humour, and sex, pretty much all being swingers and engaging in group sex on a fairly regular basis, and exchanging good natured jibes and banter, that was clearly only intended as a joke. But then something changed, all of a sudden the serious cunts, and prudes arrived. Upon trying to arrange a nice little orgy, firstly just a minority of people, would look at you with disgust, as if they hadnt drunken anywhere near enough to take something like that in the way it was intended, as a sleazy yet genuine come-on, and most of the time they really hadnt drunken enough!
Eventually so many prudes joined up, that it became almost impossible to enjoy the usual post-drinks orgy that we all enjoyed back in the good old days.
It was the same with the friendly banter. Calling each other cunts and wankers used to be fairly common around here, then people started to take offence, considering it some sort of insult, even threatening legal action! And demanding something they called respect, as if this were something other than a childish website for shit talking!
We did get used to dealing with such boring morons using a technique such as irony. The funniest joke of all became one that noone else got. But eventually, people caught onto that too, and started using it against us, and it even got to the stage where I couldnt tell the difference between someone using irony pretending to understand a post that someone else falsey understood to be a joke and someone genuinly taking a joke as if it were something that another person laughed at pretending to think it wasnt and someone who was making a joke based on someones ironic non-getting of a post pretending to be a joke!
So thats it, this site has turned me from a well balanced, funny guy, into a boring prude with no sense of humour. Im even starting to pick up an american accent, and have an interest in sports!
Im outta here, off to talk to my german co-workers about how to find a place in a kindergarten in case I ever have kids.
